Preview Preview- Round 1 2018: SAINT Kilda vs Brisbane

[Hollow Knight]

Great preview BRAB.

That said, where is our GGTV!

 

[The Bear]

If it's close at 3QT, we win IMHO.

 

[mikey127]

Last year we lost by 23 but given the Saints accuracy probably should have been more but for the sake of improvement we need to lose by less then 23

Take out the Montagna and Riewoldt factor and we win by 23.

Was the thread title “SAINT Kilda” decided upon just to irritate me?

St or Saint Kilda, pretty much the same right?

 

[Mr Ripper]

St or Saint Kilda, pretty much the same right?

Not in this case, it is actually "St" Kilda.

 

[joshhem]

Not in this case, it is actually "St" Kilda.

But they aren’t St’s who go marching in Rip.

Saint KFC the patron saint of fried chicken.

 

[BigHippy]

I've talked a lot of shit to my Saints-supporting mates in the lead up to this one, so here's hoping we can get the win!

 

[Mr Ripper]

COME ON JOSHY IT'S NOT HAWKTHORN YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!111

 

[Ironmonger]

Saint Kilda was the patron saint of grammar pedants.

He performed the miracle of succinctly explaining how and when a semicolon should be used.

 

[dlanod]

Wait, "Saint" Kilda?

I thought it was short for Street Kilda.

 

[Nunez]

Wait, "Saint" Kilda?

I thought it was short for Street Kilda.

I always thought it was the Saint that killed her. Jeeze.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

St or Saint Kilda, pretty much the same right?

Nope. The team St Kilda hails from the suburb St Kilda which was named after a ship of that name which was named after a group of Scottish Islands of that name which as far as anyone knows was not named after a Saint.

 

[David C]

Hunter Clark to debut for the Saints.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Not in this case, it is actually "St" Kilda.

There, I fixed it for you.

 

[jackess]

I assume we’re waiting for the team to get down to Melbourne tomorrow so Browny can present Rayner with his jumper and we’ll use that in the media.

 

[Forward We Go]

Team travels to Melbourne on Friday, not tomorrow.

Got my days mixed up. Yep Friday.

 

[scattman3]

If I've done my stats correctly Riewoldt has missed 11 games for the saints since 2015. Their only win was against Carlton in 2016.

Think he and Montagna's influence is being undervalued greatly. In with a big chance of causing an upset.

 

[luthor]

Apparantly we're at around $4 to win this.

This being the case, I'm going to plonk a lazy $20 on us.

The importance of the "laziness" of a wager can't be emphasised enough.

I am deliberately going to sleep in tomorrow, have a relaxed breakfast, a lazy cuppa, a few yawns and stretches, before lazily driving the less than 800meters to the nearest betting point. Then I'll casuallly pull out a 20 and in as disinterested a manner as possible, take at least 5 minutes to actually place the bet.

Everyone knows that "lazy" bets have so much more of a chance of being winners than if they're well........not so lazy.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Take out the Montagna and Riewoldt factor and we win by 23.

Yeah if I recall, Joey & Roo pretty much tore us apart by themselves in that game.

Will be interesting.

Dodongo is tempted to put the house on it.

 

[Dodongo]

Mikey would like to know Dodongos thoughts on round 1 and the womens GF

Dodongo is going to take Mrs Dodongo on a Nordic/Scandanavian 3 week holiday should the Lions win. Dodongo thinks that will make up for last year. Dodongo is looking forward to the match. Dodongo made it abundantly clear to Mrs Dodongo that Dodongo is not to be interrupted Saturday afternoon.

Dodongo hopes we beat the Saints but Dodongo must also be realistic. Dodongo sees us winning about 5-6 games this year with 7 being the max, so hopefully this is one of them. At $4 Dodongo is tempted.

 

[Dodongo]

Also Dodongo's mail is that Rayner is making his debut. Dodongo's source is that solid that Dodongo nearly staked Dodongo's last nut on it. Dodongo will be more comfortable betting nuts when Dodongo gets a synthetic one put in. Then Dodongo can just bet that
